Thank you. I’m plotting to get opera or ballet tickets so my husband will have to take me out.
The button is from my stash. It’s a pearl finish w/ a gold-colored band around it. It’s a leftover from a suit I made for myself years ago. The suit is long-since gone (too small for me now), but it’s nice to find a purpose for the remaining button. The button hole was a giant pain. I pretty much just did a wide zig-zag on the ends and a more narrow one on each side, then sliced down the middle and tried to pull as much of the fur out as I could. Thank goodness the button hides it mostly.
